“Whether you like them straight out of the bag, roasted to a golden brown exterior with a molten center, or in fluff form, who doesn’t like marshmallows? We definitely like them! Since the launch of the M Developer Preview at Google I/O in May, we’ve enjoyed all of your participation and feedback. Today with the final Developer Preview update, we’re introducing the official Android 6.0 SDK and opening Google Play for publishing your apps that target the new API level 23 in Android Marshmallow.” writes Jamal Eason, Product Manager, Android, in Android developer’s blog.

The new Android Marshmallow is packed with many new features like support for USB Type C, inbuilt fingerprint reader, Web Experience, Android Pay, App links, and a total makeover on App Permissions.
